we've had an election. i think speaker boehner, as well as the senate majority leader harry reid, they know, since they've all run for office, the american people have spoken. back in '96, we had also a very aggressive campaign between clinton and dole. the election was over. nine months later, a year later, we had a balanced budget agreement that created the children's health insurance program, doubled the size of our national parks and created middle class tax credits for sending their kids to college. this time given the voters have spoken, the president won the election with a middle class agenda with a pro growth economic strategy based on the middle class, it's incumbent the parties work together to avoid the fiscal issue but lay a path for economic growth. >> work closely with the speaker newt gingrich. do you think john boehner and you know john boehner, the speaker of the house, do you think he can do with this present what gingrich and clinton did back in the '90s after the president was re-electe
